Hello Catalin,
Please take a look at the HttpClient SSL guide to get started
<http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/sslguide.html>. For more
details about JSSE please refer to Sun's docs on the subject
<http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/>. Please let us know if you run
into any difficulties.
Thanks,
Mike
